just wondering what thoughts people have on reformatting.. planning to reformat this weekend, and i have an external hd to dump to... any thoughts on the best way to go about this (mostly concerned about all the little apps, etc that i have and dont feel like writing a huge list and hitting up version tracker for a long time)

reason for format is that my computer is really bloated and not working too well.. i get hangs on startups.. it takes 5+ mins if it does start up.. and a lot of programs (office mostly) wont start cause my fonts are all messed up... its just slow in general
